The Accident

I woke up to the bright sun rays shining through my bedroom window, "Anna! come down stairs for breakfast" my mom shouted. I then changed into a over sized t-shirt and shorts and headed down stairs.

The kitchen was dark, but light enough to see where I was walking,"Happy Birthday!" my mom yelled holding a cake towards my face. Today was my seventeenth birthday and the first birthday I had without my dad since he left my mom and I when I was sixteen, I wasn't really feeling my birthday this year, but I still made an acception for my mom because I knew she wasn't used to this birthday thing since my dad used to celebrate all my birthday parties and always used to make them the best, so she knew she wouldn't of been able to make them as good as his."Blow out the candles" she said with a large smile stretch across her face.

"Did you make a wish sweety" she asked with the same big smile.

"Yeah i made a wish" I replied with a smile even though I didn't really believe in making a wish from candles.

"Anna so what do you wanna do for your birthday" she grinned with a mischievous smile.

"I was planning on staying home and watching tv" I replied.

"What? no, not on your birthday, we have to go out and have fun, I bought tickets to the movies"

"I know but why go out if i can watch movies home" i said.

"The real question is why watch movies home when you can go out and watch movies on the big screen, besides "The Awakening" is showing and i know how much you wanted to watch it"

"Ok, your right lets watch it" I replied defeatedly.

I went up to room, changed into a large fluffy sweater followed by my joggers and and a pair of gloves since it was extremly cold outside.

"Honey are you ready to go" yelled mom, like why is she always yelling when she's right down stairs.

"Coming mom" I answered, then we walked outside to the car which was raining heavily.

About an hour or two, we had just finished watching "The Awakening" and was heading home."The Awakeing" is based on a paranormal/supernatural movie featuring Rebecca Haul who acted as Florence Cathcart (a writer and sometimes ghost hunter) investigates a reported haunting of a boys boarding school having begun a foray into her profession upon the death of her lover in World War 1.

"So did you enjoyed the movie Anna?"asked mom

"Yeah it was really interesting"

"Well i'm very pleased that you agreed to come and watch it with me, happy birthday sweety" mom said smiling taking every second she had off the road to look back at me.

"I know things had been really hard on you since your father left but I wanted to let you know that i'm trying my best ok" she said with a sad look in her eyes.

"Oh and I bought you something" she said taking a box out her bag and handing it to me.

It was a beautiful gold necklace with my name written on it and a card saying never give up on hope.I know my mom had to take money out of her little savings to buy this for me which made this gift very valueable to me not because it's gold but because what my mom did to get it for me just to make to happy.

"So do you like it" she asked

"Of course i love it, you did'nt have to mom i knew how expensive this neclace, you already had given me enough already, I have you and that is just enough right now" I said while i put on the necklace.

"Thanks alot Anna, thanks for never giving up on me"

she said smiling with her eyes on the edge of watering.

"So mom you wanna make our special pancakes when we reach home" I ask licking my lips due to just thinking about it.

"You know I can't resist those" my mom replied taking a second of the road to look at me when suddenly "Mom! look out" I shouted as a car came smashing into us.
